Systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. It has been used throughout history by political organizations of both the left and the right, by nationalist and ethnic groups, and by revolutionaries. Although usually thought of as a means of destabilizing or overthrowing existing political institutions

The Crisis in Ukraine has now reached an international boiling point. However, most media outlets are not discussing or reporting on new evidence regarding the Ukrainian sniper killings that caused of death of dozens of Ukrainian citizens, protesters and police alike.

On February 19, 2014, the Wall Street Journal reported Ukraine’s Security Service announced it was calling a nationwide anti-terrorist campaign because massive stocks of weapons had been looted from warehouses in western Ukraine.

The next day, February 20, 2014, Radio Free Europe/ Free Liberty released a video that Euronews reported showing violence against Ukrainian protesters. The gunmen depicted in the video shooting protesters are identified as Ukrainian Police. Yet, Euronews also reports Ukrainian police disclosed they also were victims of sniper attacks and several officers were killed or injured by sniper fire.

The report of snipers targeting police is confirmed by video of Ukrainian protesters shooting rifles from a hotel room window.

The video of snipers targeting people from inside buildings is independently confirmed by RT journalist, Aleksey Yaroshevsky, who reported snipers firing from buildings all around Independence Square and that rioters were in control of several buildings in and near the city center. He further reports protesters affiliated with the Right Sector Neo-Nazi group are the main source of violence against the police, with heavy casualties on both sides.

Yaroshevsky also confirms at least 15,000 rounds of ammunition, 300 handguns, and machine guns were stolen by protesters from western Ukraine and he witnessed protesters with rifles and handguns, in the lobby of a hotel that was serving as the headquarters of the rioters.

what was quite disturbing, this same Olga told as well that all the evidence shows that the people who were killed by snipers from both sides, among policemen and then people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides,”

“So that she then also showed me some photos she said that as a medical doctor she can say that it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it’s really disturbing that now the new coalition, that they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened,”

“There is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers, it was not Yanukovich, but it was somebody from the new coalition,”

These new facts, when taken in the context of the on February 19, 2014 weapons theft, confirm the gunmen recorded on the February 20, 2014 video killing protesters were not Ukrainian police acting under the direction of Yanukovich.

What is most disturbing is a video uploaded to Youtube, on February 19, 2014 captioned:

As I do not speak Russian, I resorted to Google Translate (Thank you Google):

LIQUID Pashinsky co sniper rifle with a silencer shot “Berkut” as well as “maydanutyh” in order to give their bodies for the victims of the regime! car number HONDA – AA 4735 SB. photographed 18.02.2014.

MP from the “Fatherland” Sergei Pashinsky!

The video is a newscast from 112.ua News Agency, a Ukrainian News Agency, and according to the caption, the raw footage was taken on February 18, 2014. According to the caption, the driver of the car, Sergei Pashinsky, is a member of the Ukrainian Fatherland political party.

In the video, the car is stopped by protesters and searched. Inside the trunk is an sniper rifle with an attached silencer in a case. The protesters replace the rifle and allow the Honda to leave.

To Recap:

On or before, February 19, 2014, at least 300 weapons and 15,000 rounds of ammunition were stolen from western Ukraine.

The Ukrainian snipers targeted police, reporters, and protesters indiscriminately from inside buildings around Independence Square, many of them controlled by protesters, including members of the Right Sector.

Two days before the February 20, 2014 Independence Square Massacre, Sergei Pashinsky’s Honda was stopped by protesters. In the trunk they found a sniper rifle and a silencer, yet they did not confiscate it and let him go.

All this information above was online and/or publicly available at the time of the Paet/Ashton February 25, 2014 phone call, over a week ago.

Why isn’t this being investigated?

If the snipers were extremist protesters targeting their own faction and police, then they could potentially be found guilty of terrorism.

Further, the investigation could be the catalyst to give cooler heads an opportunity to negotiate a diplomatic solution… such as following and enforcing the terms of the agreement already signed by Yanukovich and opposition leaders that was supported by members of the EU and the White House.

Note: If you find this article useful, insightful, or informative, remember, sharing is caring.

also, here is the video with that car
they found a sniper rifle in the trunk, but didn’t check if it was fired or not (very easy to check if you just smell the barrel) instead Pashinsly ordered to to take get in the car and drove in an unspecified direction even though the activists of euromaidan around the car were demanding to stop.

Swordof Justice, Thanks for putting together that playlist and especially the subtitled versions of the 2 videos. Since we shared them and tried to use an online translation to figure out what the narrator was explaining, the captions have helped us tremendously.

You’ve mentioned the phone call, and the statement from the Estonian FM, but failed to reference the subsequent statement from him, in which he says he was merely talking about rumoursthat he had heard.

Also, the doctor referenced in the call as saying the bullet wounds incurred by the Police and Protesters, Olga Bolgomets, has said she never treated the Police, only protesters and that it’s impossible to say the wounds were all attributable to the same kind of weapon on first glance.

Самсебенауме, would you be able to provide a translation of the following video that was shared with us? Our attempts to use an online translation give us “EVROMAYDAN Maidan 2013 HORROR! Tyahnibok hidden camera!” as the title and “The whole truth on hidden camera ! !” as the description text.

I would like to thank everyone publicly for both reading and providing additional information on the sniper attacks, those who did so in the comments and those who did so elsewhere. It added a lot of depth and context to them. You guys are great.

fyi: Along the way, we have added several additional (roughly auto-translated) articles related to some of the other “players” that led to the escalation of violence in Ukraine that may be of interest.
